Construction company donates cones to the police
THE ADS Construction Group has donated a quantity of traffic cones to the Traffic Department of the Royal St Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force (RSVGPF).
During a handing over ceremony at the Central Police Station, Kingstown on Friday, April 18,2026, Operations Manager at ADS Construction Justin John, said the donation was an effort to reinforce the ongoing push to improve road safety while strengthening partnerships.
John explained that the donation was motivated by the strong support his company received from the police during ongoing construction projects in Kingstown. He noted that the cooperation of officers, particularly in managing traffic flow and ensuring public safety, allowed the company to maintain its project timelines.
“We thought it was in our good corporate social responsibility to give back to the police, because we would have been delayed having not had their cooperation. So, we’re very thankful to them for all that they have done in ensuring that we stick to our timelines and we get our project done in a timely manner,” John is quoted as having said.
Officer in Charge of Traffic, Transport and Garage Superintendent of Police Parnel Browne welcomed the donation, describing it as a valuable contribution that will enhance the traffic department’s ability to manage roads more effectively.
“We are very happy today again to be the recipient of some very important things that will enhance the performance of the traffic department.
“We’ve been calling for this all the time, partnership with the general public and I am very happy that I am part and parcel and one of the persons who are laying down the groundwork to ensure that this partnership happens between the general public and the Royal Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force,” the police officer stated.
He added that the officers under his watch are encouraged by this gesture and the growing partnership between the police and members of the business community.
“I know in the past that persons were not that receptive in terms of partnering with the police, but we have changed the way we operate, and we have seen where the members of the civil society are coming on board to partner with the police,” adding that he is happy that ADS is such one company and he is thankful.
“I know these cones will go a long way in enhancing and making sure that road safety is at its highest in St Vincent and the Grenadines.”
The RSVGPF continues to call on individuals, businesses, and organizations across the country to support efforts aimed at promoting public safety and maintaining order on the nation’s roads.
This recent donation comes on the heels one made by the Seventh-day Adventist Church in St Vincent and the Grenadines, through its ASI (Adventist Laymen’s Services and Industries) Chapter of a set of roadside safety mirrors. (API)
